The Winam Gulf on Lake Victoria around Kisumu city has seen increase in anthropogenic activities. The activities discharge pollutants, especially heavy metals into the lake. The heavy metals sink into sediments, which ...

Reliable and accurately measurable chemical parameters that can be used to estimate
black tea quality are desirable in trade, research and breeding programmes. Using plain
Kenyan black tea from 11 cultivars, which gave ...

Tebuconazole, a widely used fungicide is toxic to the environment and has been
reported as a water contaminant. In this study, the adsorption of aqueous solution
tebuconazole onto faujasite X (NaX) was investigated in ...

Tea Camellia sinensis, is widely grown in the highlands of Kenya for manufacture of mainly black tea. The most costly inputs in tea cultivation are nitrogenous fertiliser and plucking which are key determinants of yield ...

The effects of the rate of application of nitrogenous fertiliser and frequency of plucking (harvesting) on various black tea quality parameters and yields were compared on done 6/8. High rates of nitrogen application and ...

Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the anaerobic biodegradation
potential of biostimulation by nitrate (KNO 3) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) addition on
an aged organochlorine pesticide ...

In Kenya, tea is grown in highlands east and west of the Rift Valley at altitudes ranging from 1300 m to 2700 m above mean sea level. These areas vary widely in seasonal and locational environmental factors leading to ...

In this study, local untreated clay was tested for its ability to adsorb sulfonamides, namely, sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) and
sulfadimethoxine (SDM) from synthetic wastewater by batch equilibration. The time-dependent ...

Vector-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major health problem among
communities living along the major rivers of Africa. Although larger water bodies such as
lakes and dams have been extensively researched, ...
